I installed the 2.5.6 version from http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5.6/ (the .tgz). It seems to have installed correctly, but I am having problems when I go to use it. I open up the command-line version, and it looks OK, but if I type any commands and try to execute them it gives me errors.

This is my first venture into Python, and I could be doing this completely wrong. I am also unable to change directories using the command line. I have a sample program in a directory: ex1.py. I see the following in my command prompt:

I did this and I am getting a syntax error. My entire program is: Print "test!" I am not sure if i have downloaded a different version but the sample that I am learning from has this as the syntax. I must be missing something.
